Where To Watch
Can you guess your favorite show's working title?
Picking the perfect title is harder than it seems.

A lot goes in to creating the perfect television show. You need the right writers, a stellar cast and crew, and of course, a snappy title. When it comes to our favorite shows, it's hard to imagine them titled anything other than what we've come to know and love them as. However, the fact is, the majority of shows go through a number of name changes before we ever get to hear what the final title is.
Some are well-known, like we all know Saved By the Bell was Good Morning, Miss Bliss. We also know Seinfeld was originally The Seinfeld Chronicles... but that wasn't the only title considered. See how many working titles you can match to the TV show they belonged to. Good luck!

10/10
You got 2 out of 10
Ahh, well ya learned something today.
Out of the 8 that I got wrong I only watched 2 of them and only one from start to finish (not counting the pilot (although I may have seen it, I was not aware that "Love and the Happy Days" was the basis for Happy Days)). The other show was Dynasty that I stopped watching before the series ended.

Lucky guesses.................8/10
2/10. Ugh.
2 out of 10.
The original name for the Wild Wild West was The Wild West. The Wild West West makes no sense.
Wasn't his last name "West"?
8/10. Pretty much all guesses. I don't really remember hearing these names.
I was 4/10 and on most i just guessed.So i think i did good considering.
2/10, alternate title for me "The Big Dummy".
I thought that was Sanford & Son.
Anybody happen to know what the show "Head of the Family" was called when it got on the air?

That eventually evolved into "The Dick Van Dyke Show".
Wow, those alternate show titles sucked! Did they put them through a focus group??
5/10.
OMG 3/10.
